I love this project!! Yes, great idea for a new baby, also great wedding gift, great to make for each school-age child, and great for reading the Bible in one year! There's so many reasons this would work for.

[@wrecktanglezwithchrista3649]

I'm currently dealing with cancer and I think a calendar like this could hold inspirational or spiritual quotes that have helped me stay positive and/or goals or milestones that I have accomplished throughout the year! Very cute calendar keepsake idea!

[@tamthaluehrs]

Christa Cobb we are praying that you fight hard like a girl and kick cancer’s patootie Hugs and prayers Tamatha Social Media CSR

[@thepeddler9226]

Quotes and a bit of journaling. Pictures of things/people you like. That's a great idea. Sorry about your cancer; I hope you have a good circle of friends/family. Nicole

[@brendalawrence6732]

Praying for you Christa!

[@josiesdiy2412]

I will pop you in My paryers⚘💖🙏

[@debbiecampbell3260]

My daughter is deployed, I’ll make one for her of all of my grandsons activities. That way she can reflect back on it when she gets home.

[@suzisaintjames]

You can leave the calendar, add dots to the important dates and add a page for each event! 💖🌞🌵😷

[@colleenberg5094]

I think I would make a frame template to put on back then slide a picture down into it so you have the month on front and on back a picture framed on the back. When I get a chance I'm going to try this once I get the stamp set if it doesn't sell out til I get paid. I love your ideas since I've been watching your channel. Your a great teacher and when you team up with hubby it's really entertaining. I am mesmerized and don't want to stop watching. I hope you understand what I mean. Thank you 💜

[@carolwatson8658]

Great idea for the expectant parents to put Dr apt notes sonogram pics and pic of Mom how big she is getting each month

[@Sotoje73]

First year of marriage. For Josh and Taylor😊. So many neat things . First year of school. Date night every month for a year. I will be making plenty of these.

[@kathysrandomactsofstampin]

I am loving this calendar/album idea. You always bring us the cutest things to make. I was thinking what a wonderful gift for a newlywed couple. They could always look back at their first year of marriage. It was be great for the pet lover who (like me) takes way too many pictures of their puppy dogs. Thank you so much for this video. One of my favorites!! I can't wait to make mine. YOU ARE AMAZING MAYMAY!!

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Thanks Kathy!

[@donnawillan2051]

This is a great idea! I am going to make matching calendars for me and my craft Buddy and then we can capture our adventures for each month. We go to a craft retreat every January so we can bring them and decorate the albums together. I think this may have to be annual gift! Thanks Maymay! You are so clever!

[@JoyceDee]

Love this idea. I have the smaller calendar stamp set, going to get the larger one. I would put family/extended family/friends/ birthdays, anniversaries, etc. on the back of each month instead of a photo, as a reminder of special days each month. Also make one for family members with our family’s special days on the back for each family member as a Christmas gift 💝.

[@wendywilson1736]

I just bought the small calendar stamp set. Can't wait to use to make one for me! I like the easel card calendar you used the "I love to Craft" papers to decorate with. I almost bought that paper, but decided I need to use up what I have, first. Thanks for putting this stamp set out!! Great idea!! ❤

[@tracyhouse5527]

This would be perfect for my daughter and her children. My son in law is deployed over seas with the army for one year. Good way for my daughter and grandkids to document special events each month and add pictures. They can gift it to my son in law when he comes home!!! Love this idea!!!

[@elisebb8423]

Great idea, Maymay! Thanks for the tutorial and the larger calendar stamp! I've been thinking of doing something like this for a few years now, but was never sure how to make the easel and using the rings on top. The magnet closure is also brilliant! I like how your "brain" works! LOL!!! Just thinking, can you imagine if Brenda made one of these how fun and full it would be?!!! :)

[@teresabourland3379]

Planning wedding, baby, birthdays, anniversaries, what to plan for the summer. Lots of things, this is a cute idea

[@cherienicholas5649]

That IS a stash buster and what an awesome idea to use this as a photo album. I love the idea of baby's first year as a standing photo album. You continually amaze me!

[@patriciaross43]

My secret pal at work has a new puppy. I think I’ll make her one to chronicle the puppy’s first year🐶

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Perfect!

[@barbaramckenney5946]

What a nice idea

[@wendywilson1736]

Get a small paw print stamp to add embellishments on certain days

[@sandracrawford1591]

It would be great for a school year too. Then at their graduation put them all together and give as a gift to remember their school years.

[@prempremglamourz1]

Very beautiful calendar. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

[@mitzibud6908]

Terrific idea! Add a label to the front and boom done!!

[@paulareneewhite7479]

Mayday you did it again! You are such an amazing creative person💕. You and you side kick and the whole crew are the best❤. Thank you all for everything you all contribute to make these videos happen.

[@AutismJourney_BeKind]

Wow Maymay this is genius. It’s a 2 4 1 project! A calendar & a mini album all in one. You are SO amazing to come up with this design. Love this so much. Thank you SO much for sharing. 📖❤️ 📆

[@RosieQ121]

Love this!! You could have also made the calendar price a “booklet” so you could use a few photos for the month. Could also make your journaling spot on the back a pocket! Thank you for the inspiration!! 🙂

[@marjimiller3985]

This is awesome, Maymay! I plan to use mine to document Doug’s and my year together. Not concentrating on what he can’t do but celebrating what he can. Thanks for always coming up with new ideas. Hugs and blessings.

[@TanBraeDesigns]

A monthly faith journal!

[@kathyekblad596]

Hi Maymay, when I retire I want to move south and work for you. From your videos, it sounds and looks like a fun time is had while working. ❤️ We stopped at your store on the way home from vacation in December but it was on a Saturday. Someday I’ll make it during the week. God Bless.

[@mariac.2895]

You could do a monthly self achievement or accomplishment calendar and at the end of the year you could look back at everything you accomplished and it would be a feel good calendar and it would be so nice!

[@Shari_A._]

This is a wonderful idea. I love how you made it to turn into a photo album. A friend of mine just had a baby in December, it's their first, so I think that was such a lovely idea you had for the "first year" calendar/album. Brilliant. 💗💗💗 Thank you!

[@prpalez7494]

What about making the calendars be pockets and put memorabilia and or photos in the pockets?

[@suzisaintjames]

You can make it as directed and add a pocket page too! 💖🌞🌵😷

[@scraptist]

One year through the Bible scripture journal. At the end of the month do an art journal on top of the calendar about the scripture from the month that spoke to you for that month and a journal on the back about how the entire month of scripture affected you.

[@kimberlyduncan1053]

Wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing!!

[@nancydurrett8395]

I’m making one for my son and daughter-in-law from September to September. They are having a baby this month so they are going to use this as his monthly milestones for his first year.

[@tallies_mom2302]

So awesome. I definitely see a couple of ways to use this... baby moments, school events, monthly birthday memories, etc.

[@elainefiveland1462]

Genius!! How about a “first year of our marriage” theme??

[@coopie624]

Awesome idea! I think I’ll make a few and have them ready!

[@pambouley414]

Awesome project.

[@gen-thethreadedbobbin]

Love this Maymay :) Something awesome as usual. I have to agree with you about having both machine and punch boards as well as die cuts and hand punches. Sometimes it's convenience, sometimes it's effects. Thank you for sharing this. I think my daughter in law would love this in her office at Universal!

[@bethrob926]

Love your explanations! What a special gift for a baby shower! I’m doing this! THX!

[@judyhandziak6434]

Love this. I am doing one this year.

[@Sotoje73]

Baby album is brilliant! I am getting this now since my grand baby is due in April! Ty for the idea. Ugh soooo in love now.

[@coopie624]

I have a grab baby coming in August, so I’m going to get busy on making a ‘Baby’s First Year’ calendar/memory book! Now to find the PERFECT paper!

[@brendalawrence6732]

Love, love, love this idea Maymay! And everyone else has had amazing ideas on how to use this as well. Love it so much! Hugs, Brenda

[@darlenerustin6086]

Maymay this is awesome!

[@pamsimmons6893]

i love love love this!!!!! thank you for sharing :)

[@bobbiannday5681]

So very cute!

[@EmziieLou77]

For ease and to save time you could leave one side of the calendar unattached and use it as a pocket to slip your photo inside and then maybe put a little heart or signifier on the date on the calendar that the picture was taken :)

[@jragnes]

Recipe of the month calendar, couples 1st year of marriage, children's 1st year of school...my daughter still takes a picture of her kids every morning before school.

[@denisedornbusch1002]

I love love this idea. I need to get all of my supplies together and rewatch it

[@prpalez7494]

A full time. RVer would love the photo calendar

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Good idea!

[@homelyheart]

Omg so inspired! Photo frame on the back for displaying when closed and standing!

[@josiesdiy2412]

Bible sayings you can choose to uplift you

[@basilizareyes5860]

Splendid

[@debt.2210]

Maymay you always have great ideas, but you outdid yourself! This is such a great idea!😊

[@brendamastriano2229]

I think I would add a a page to the front. Just a blank page, maybe describing the album;"baby's first year", that way you would have the journal page next to the picture and not behind it. Just thought I would throw that out there.

[@andreagreen571]

Love the two foe one. Turned out really nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@ssharp11]

Very very cute project. I may give this a try. Thank you for the detailed instructions and the inspiration. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

[@adriennecollett3937]

Yippee! Been wanting you to revisit every tool from We are Memory Keepers!

[@ycartyahoo]

I love this, MayMay!! I am definitely bookmarking this video...

[@lisagomme2602]

Put your favorite Vinnies Vittles recipes for each month!

[@jeanninethames2523]

Lol! Where was this for before Christmas? hand stamped 21 desk calendars for Christmas gifts. Great set!

[@janarmstrong6449]

Love, love, love how your brain works!!!!!

[@shirleyforeman6529]

Am going to make this but i have a question. Is the paper you have chosen that is patterned paper or card stock and if so is it double sided card Stock?

[@joannmcgowan9394]

Love it!! I’m going to do the baby’s first year!! Since he was born Dec 9th a little late but still!! So excited

[@suzyemery]

Such a very cool idea! Might just make them for Christmas presents for family members this year...TFS !! 💟 Hugs! ~Suzy~

[@christiethompson6962]

this would be great for a wedding shower gift. A couples first year of firsts.

[@BobbiMimms]

First year in a new home!

[@linaabdullah8107]

Another inspiration for me! Thinking of presenting it to my friend. Thanks MM😉

[@influentialolive]

I decided I would do my 'Resurgence Video' into crafting, as a process video. I finally decided, and scripted it in December, but, was working out the craft, and preparing,... the video was, "My Assembly Line" lol... TYFS! (Somewhere missed the larger set, gonna have to order that one!)

[@Taitcreates639]

You are so amazingly ng my Lady. Super great project. I have a grandson a couple weeks younger than Addie, My first, my only. This would be great for me to have since my daughter has her own monthly pics of the baby. Tyfs. Hug!

[@wandaspencer9523]

I am seeing this for the first time and I love the tab punch board tip... I am like you, every time they come out with a new punch board or we r memories tool I think I have to have it! But I had no idea there was a perpetual calendar stamp set. Are they still available?

[@bethmerkle1304]

Love, love, love this idea! TFS!

[@teribusse8607]

Love it!!! Can't wait to make one ... or several!

[@memessweett4005]

I love this ... I am gonna try to make this myself. I don’t have the punch board or anything that will make the tab so I’ve gotta figure out how to make the tab . Thank you for sharing this MayMay . Have a wonderful day. God bless you and your family.

[@thepeddler9226]

You could use your Envelope Punch Board if you have one. You could trace it from an actual file folder and keep the original to trace the other ones. Or you could just trace it by hand with a pencil and cut it with your scissors. Not sure how that would go but you could try with half a label punch, preferably a fancy one. - Nicole

[@susanholloway7883]

Maymay, I'd love to see what your book looks like when completed next year.

[@jamainebrasseaux1183]

Wonderful idea! Using for baby’s first year or really just an annual “2019” album.

[@deboraholson2971]

Great project Maymay! Will make a nice gift ❤️

[@galequinton2738]

This would be great for my granddaughters for their school activities

[@galequinton2738]

And in the summer. Ball games

[@mollytejana]

Love-love this stamp set and the calendar album! Thank you for all the details, Maymay. BUT I will definitely use my mini Versafine black ink on the numbers. I do use my regular Versafine pad for smaller projects, I am fumble-fingers if not careful. Your background papers for each month are awesome, just perfect! 🌷

[@puddytatpurr]

I think I'd do it so that you can flip the calender up and have the photo on the underside of the tab card and then another (slightly smaller) white card on your backing paper for journaling on. Seems a shame to cover up your stamping (love those stamps!)

[@krisboll5764]

Hi Maymay...awesome idea! I'm getting a Cinch next week (late Xmas gift) and I was thinking this would be great to bind using it. Since I know you have one already, would I need to adjust the overall size to accommodate for the Cinch binding at the top or would there be enough space in your existing design?

[@thecraftingsheddavies727]

Fabulous idea tfs hugs jayne xxx xxx

Just brilliant maymay! Wow. Xoxo

[@Stahlmaks]

LOVE THIS!! I can't wait to order this stamp set!! Well, I have to wait till payday, so I hope you don't sell out!!

[@normaedlemon92]

Really cute. Will do this one

[@grannydorsey1388]

This is a must have!

[@blendadale6379]

Love it! Can't wait to try this

[@cpfingsten1]

You could also put more pictures on the back where you are journaling

[@staciecrews9625]

I loved your idea. I would have liked if you would have considered that not everyone had these tools and then showed other ideas of making the same things. ex. the tabs

[@marilyntorsch3970]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@veronicawalters4534]

If you were going to do a weight loss journey or some sort of transformation journey, a one year calendar would be amazing!

[@celestinewilliams1069]

Hello, I would love to see you make a DVD holder it of cardboard to put on a dresser top. I have so many storage bends with 📀 on my dresser taking up space..

[@Elvis2girl]

Suggestion so people don't go and buy another trinket you can do it with the envelope punch board

[@RoseD2016]

This is a great idea! 😍

[@TanBraeDesigns]

Home renovations! I'm guessing ours, if/when we start, will take about a year.

[@atinybitofthisdesigns]

Love it Maymay

[@TreeCraftOn]

Great project!
